THE TRAUMA CODE: HEROES ON CALL
Ah, shut it!
Shut it! Just shut it!
Sh-sh-sh… Shu-shu… Shut it! Shu… Shut it!
-Is he saying "shut it"?
-That was live.
Shut! Shut! Shut! Just shut it!
It…
Oh no!
Oh my gosh.
Just shut… Just shut… Just shut it!
He got what he asked for,
and now his face is everywhere.
Ah, these photos don't do him justice.
Shut it!
DR. BAEK KANG-HYUK OF HNUH
TV INTERVIEW DRAMA
Damn it. This is…
I guess I didn't account for
something like this.
I should have been there to see
the expression on Minister Kang's face.
Ah, the news is having a field day
with this. Yeah.
Goodness.
The guy she forced down our throats
like this has finally
revealed his true colors.
But now we have another problem
on our hands.
It'd be fine if Baek was the only one
who was publicly embarrassed by all this.
This mess affects all of us here.
Our hospital's reputation
is now in danger.
He made the hospital look unprofessional.
He emailed me asking for a budget increase
for the trauma department.
-Budget increase?
-Yes! You know what he said?
Baek said if the hospital couldn't manage
to find the money,
he'd ask the minister directly.
His disrespect is outrageous!
I had no idea that…
Oh, that rat bastard is just--
I'm not happy with any of this, huh?
And the minister always takes his side.
'Cause we don't have a valid reason
to throw him out.
Well, we can't just
twiddle our thumbs like this either.
Let's wait for the right opportunity, huh?
Baek thinks he's holding
all the cards right now.
But sooner or later,
he will screw up, you know.
Mm… Mm-hmm.
Oh, excuse me.
An emergency.
Black Wings.
"Black Wings."
BLACK WINGS
PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANY
"The largest private military
company in the world."
"Mainly focused on VIP protection
in conflict zones
and combat operations,
including kidnapping rescue missions."
"Their capabilities surpass
special forces units."
"And due to their level of combat,
all combat operations
must be accompanied by medics."
"Such medics are
trained to be deadly in their own right."
"Trained to be human weapons."
Wow.
Wow. This is extraordinary.
Number One.
Yes, sir! At your service, sir!
What are you doing?
I wasn't doing anything! I swear!
You weren't? Well, why not?
You should be checking the vital signs
and I/O measurements of the ICU patients.
And studying the papers I gave you.
So what do you mean you're doing nothing?
Why would you…
-Uh, uh, uh…
-…waste time looking up things like this?
You're right! I'm sorry!
-Come on.
-I won't do it again, sir.
That's good.
Best you just do what you're told.
Uh, by the way, Dr. Baek. Uh…
Uh… I am curious though.
I really don't have any ulterior motives.
Just I'm just curious about something.
Well, what?
Well… going from
the Doctors for International Peace
to Black Wings is quite surprising.
I don't really understand it.
Ah!
You went somewhere more dangerous
since there's more trauma patients there.
-I guess that's why.
-I went for money.
Huh?
They said they'd pay me a lot.
Ah.
Code Black. Code Black.
All emergency medicine
and trauma center personnel.
-To the trauma center.
-Seriously?
Code Black…
-That's meant for disasters.
-Run.
…medicine and trauma center personnel
to the trauma center.
-Dr. Baek.
-Gangster. What's going on?
They say it's
a 60-vehicle pile-up on Sowol Bridge.
It's really bad.
Probably cause of the fog.
Most of the vehicles,
including two tour buses,
are being attended to on the bridge.
It's reported that four vehicles,
including a bus,
have fallen off the bridge.
Ambulances are coming in
as we speak. Hurry.
Gonna be a lot of patients incoming.
Hurry! Patients fill up
level-3 hospitals in situations like this
since transporting patients
to smaller hospitals could be fatal.
Got it? Hurry.
This way. Quickly! This way!
Get them to the treatment room!
Coming through. Let us pass, please.
This way. Hurry!
Coming through.
-Wait.
-This way, please.
Hurry. Hurry!
-Get a central line in.
-Yes, Doctor.
We need every operating room we have!
Okay.
Keep your eyes closed. Keep 'em closed!
-Yes, hello?
-Gangster, call every last resident.
Everybody's already here,
even emergency medicine interns.
Get every department!
-Especially from surgery!
-Yes, Dr. Baek.
Dr. Kim. This way!
I'm sending the patient
for tests.
Stay with me. Stay with me!
Call orthopedics, please!
Dr. Baek.
Mr. An is transporting a patient
via helicopter right now.
-One, two, three.
-Okay. Lift.
It's not an open wound. Thank God.
Gangster, notify orthopedics.
Yes, Dr. Baek.
-What? What are you doing?
-Hey, call Mr. An, would you?
What are you doing? We should go back.
The patient! The patient!
Mr. An, can you hear me?
It's Baek Kang-hyuk.
Mr. An, can you hear me?
Mr. An. It's Baek Kang-hyuk.
Is that you, Dr. Baek?
It's chaos over here!
I heard there were vehicles
that fell off the bridge.
Have the rescue efforts begun there too?
Uh, no. We haven't begun operations
under the bridge.
We're having difficulties gaining access,
so we're preparing to rappel down now.
Thank you, Mr. An.
Should we be going in--
-We're going to the crash site.
-What?
The ones with really serious injuries
are down there! Let's go!
Hold on! Dr. Baek, wait.
But…
This morning, at 7:40 a.m.,
a major accident occurred…
The emergency room has
a maximum capacity to treat 40 patients.
We're currently treating 38 patients.
They'll go to the relevant departments
after initial assessments.
All right.
Emergency medicine will really need to
pull their weight for this incident.
In the immediate aftermath now,
we have to process
as many patients as possible.
That's the best way of resolving this. Mm.
Oh goodness.
That's a load off, isn't it? Huh?
I was worried they'd try to bring
every last injured patient here.
And with that,
we'd have to pour so much money into it.
-It wouldn't even cover the electricity.
-Director, excuse me. Watch your language.
'Cause if someone else were listening in,
they would think
that I did this for money,
that I called the disaster code
to avoid accepting trauma patients.
Oh, that's not what I meant at all, sir.
It's just that large-scale incidents
garner a lot of media attention,
so it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.
Just imagine
Baek Kang-hyuk running around,
making a fuss like he's some kind of hero
trying to save everyone.
When he does well, he gets all the credit.
But one wrong move,
and our hospital is held responsible.
So we should
nip these problems in the bud,
No? Dr. Im agrees?
Yes. Uh, Director Hong.
Right now, Dr. Baek… isn't with us.
Exactly.
Wait, what do you mean?
He should be treating patients.
Where'd he go?
Yes. Well, before he left,
I said exactly that.
He said emergency medicine should be able
to take care of this much, and…
Ugh, so where the hell did he run off to?
Uh, he went to the crash site.
He flew out there.
He went there so he could
escort patients here on his own?
Dr. Baek. We've arrived.
Should we land on the bridge?
Or should we go down under the bridge?
Captain.
-Go straight under the bridge now.
-Yes, Dr. Baek.
Whoa!
Come this way.
This way. This way! Hurry. Hurry!
How's the situation?
We were able to clear a path,
so ambulances are beginning to arrive now.
We're redirecting people
as soon as they're extracted.
No. Need to triage 'em first.
-We need all victims in one place.
-Okay.
Start with
the most critical patients?
We're not here to treat.
We're here to triage.
No one here is authorized
to declare anyone dead.
Separate the patients we can save
from those we cannot.
Start by triaging the conscious patients.
What about you?
I'll begin with the casualties.
Don't let it get to you.
Right.
Here. Over here. Over here.
Three, two, three.
One, two, three, four…
All right.
From now on,
all victims must be assessed by us first.
Do not take any patients
to an ambulance before then.
So let's have all conscious patients
on the right
and unconscious patients on my left, okay?
That means the dead as well.
-Let's move quickly.
-Yes, sir!
Two, three, four…
-Dr. Baek.
-Move 'em here!
-Separate the patients.
-Have a defibrillator?
Yes. Over here.
Stop compressions now.
The man's dead.
We don't have time to waste.
Move on to the others. They need us now.
Right.
Some help over here.
Let's move the patients
over here.
UNKNOWN MALE
CONDITION: DECEASED
Here. This way. Quick, quickly.
Put them down over here. Over here.
Well, we need
a plan of action, don't we?
Minister, Dr. Baek is on site.
I've had word that he's triaging patients.
-Dr. Baek?
-Yes, ma'am.
All emergency rooms
able to accept patients
are currently filled up.
-Brother!
-It's all right. You're all right.
My brother.
Help me.
My brother
fell off the bridge too.
We held onto each other.
All right. Don't worry.
I'll rescue your brother too.
So just hold on a little while.
Okay.
Hurry. Over this way.
This way, this way.
Dr. Baek! Take a look at this one.
He's breathing and has a pulse,
but he's unconscious.
Looks like he took a broken pipe
to his stomach during the fall.
There was so much bleeding.
We decided to cut the pipe.
All right, good call.
Get thread and a suture kit.
-A number two thread.
-Right.
Move aside, please.
Coming through.
-Here.
-Hold on.
I got it! I'll bring it with me.
Uh, Dr. Baek,
that suture is really deep, isn't it?
We need to control the bleeding first.
Come on, pay attention.
You know how to treat an impaled patient?
You make a median incision.
You control the bleeding first.
After that, remove this.
Makes sense, yeah.
Wait now?
Take this patient in the helicopter
and start surgery.
I'll catch up with you later.
Um, can't I do the triaging, Dr. Baek?
Are you saying… you can determine
whether a patient will live?
No, it's not that.
I'm just not confident enough that I--
You can do this.
Trust me. I believe in you.
You've got this.
-You all right?
-Move him here.
This patient's gonna live.
Number One, take it from here.
All right?
Yes.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Careful, careful, Nurse Jang-mi.
Nurse Jang-mi, is the room ready?
Standing by. Are we waiting for Dr. Baek?
He's still at the crash site.
Let's begin the surgery.
Come on, let's get going.
You can do this.
Trust me. I believe in you.
You've got this.
Start with a median incision.
Control the bleeding first.
Blood pressure. I can do this.
Doctor.
Focus.
You're the lead surgeon here.
If the lead surgeon loses focus,
it affects the whole team.
Let's
begin the surgery.
Scalpel.
NAME: LEE CHANG-HUN, GENDER: MALE
PENETRATING WOUND
UNKNOWN FEMALE
CONDITION: IMMEDIATE
Open fracture, so clean it carefully.
Yes, sir.
We're giving you painkillers.
You'll feel better soon.
Dr. Baek,
I… I found this on the patient.
She's carrying insulin.
That means she's diabetic.
What do we do?
We need to transport her right now.
Which hospital should we go to?
Hankuk University Hospital.
Okay.
Dr. Baek.
You should take a look
at this patient too.
He's the last survivor.
All other triaged patients
have been transported.
The bleeding is so severe.
Do you think he has a chance?
Brother!
Please save my brother.
Help him.
NAME: CHO SEOK-JUN, GENDER: MALE
CONDITION: IMMEDIATE
We're heading to the hospital
with the open fracture patient.
Are you going with us?
Shouldn't you operate
on the patient
who has a better chance of surviving?
-This patient can go to a different--
-No.
Only I can save this patient.
What about that other patient?
And the one you sent to
Hankuk University Hospital.
He's in serious condition as well.
They're all going to the same hospital.
I'm going to save… all three.
Oh my. That smells delicious.
Mm-mm.
I don't wanna eat anymore. I'm full.
Oh, come on.
We can't let this food go to waste.
You'll feel better. Just a moment…
JERK DOCTOR BAEK KANG-HYUK
Oh, who do we have here?
Our savior, Dr. Baek Kang-hyuk.
How are you?
I have a patient with an open fracture.
-I need help!
-You need help?
Who's available right now? I don't know.
An attending orthopedic surgeon?
He's probably in surgery.
Maybe a resident.
It can't be a resident. No way!
If not a resident,
who else could I enlist?
-An attending!
-I don't know.
This is really serious.
Please help me out!
All right.
-I understand.
-You get ready to perform surgery too.
What? Now?
Yes. Please go to the OR.
I'm a colorectal surgeon.
And I'm rusty with a scalpel.
I'm not messing around.
Please get ready.
Hey! Dr. Baek.
Is he serious?
Does he always have to hang up first?
-What is it?
-Hmm?
Tell me.
Well,
they're short on staff
and want me in the OR.
Mm.
I don't think I belong in there.
I think you should go.
Why do you think I went to medical school?
It's 'cause my dad looked so cool
with a scalpel in his hand.
Really?
SURGERY IN PROGRESS
Oh, oh, are you done?
-I said, I'm not doing it.
-How'd it go?
Come on, don't be like that.
I haven't had time to eat today.
You know how many surgeries
I've performed?
Oh God. Come on.
Of course, I know. Come on, Doctor. Huh?
We have to save the patient, right?
And they have an open fracture.
You know you're the only one
who can do this.
So help me. Help me out here. Okay?
Come on. I'll be over there.
Huh? What's gotten into him lately?
This is anesthesiology.
-Oh…
-What is it? What?
Emergency surgery.
Tell them I'm not here.
I'm not here. I'm not here.
Ah, that's unfortunate. We're all full.
So many surgeries scheduled today.
Which OR is it?
All right. Dr. Park Gyeong-won
just asked which OR it is.
Right. Understood.
Emergency OR.
Hey, Park Gyeong. Aren't you annoyed?
Our schedules are running late.
And they throw this on us?
Like you said, it's an emergency.
Of course it's dumped on us.
What's that?
Aren't we required by law
to have anesthesiologists
on standby for emergencies?
And yet, we still schedule everyone
ahead of time.
Isn't that the real problem around here?
What did you say?
You little punk.
Hey, get over here.
Hey, Park Gyeong!
All emergency medicine
and trauma center personnel…
Good morning, Dr. Ma.
If you're headed this way,
that has to mean it's for trauma surgery?
Yes.
Don't go.
Why would you say that?
They've been trying to hire
a full-time anesthesiologist.
No one's applied in two years.
Don't give false hope to the people
in the trauma department.
I'll just find someone else
to go to the OR.
Uh, Dr. Baek!
-Anesthesiology?
-They're not here yet.
Ah shit.
One, two, three.
NAME: CHO SEOK-JUN, GENDER: MALE
UPPER/LOWER ABDOMINAL RUPTURE
Dr. Baek.
Oh, Dr. Han.
Take care of the lower abdomen.
You want me
to perform surgery now?
You're a colorectal surgeon.
You do plenty of rectal surgeries.
Gosh.
This looks pretty complicated.
-Get your gown on. Quickly.
-Right, right. Okay.
Jesus! Where's the anesthesiologist?
Dr. Baek,
I'll start with propofol.
Okay. Hurry, hurry.
Propofol is in.
Hold on. What should I do first?
I've got my index and middle finger
compressing the area.
As well as the lower part
of the palm of my hand.
Right. Okay, like this.
Stay like this
until I wash my hands.
-Three minutes maximum. Three minutes.
-Gosh, all right.
-Three minutes.
-Whoa! Whoa! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Hurry, hurry! Ah!
Hey, hurry up! Come back!
Ah! Whoa!
Hang on for just a second.
Just a second.
Ah! My hands are slipping here!
-Please. Shit.
-Come on! Where are you?
Hurry up. His blood pressure is dropping.
It's dropping!
What are you doing?
I just needed three minutes.
-Is that so hard? You've done this before!
-Just hurry up and do something!
One, two.
Right. Okay. Hold tight. Scalpel.
Right here.
-I'm making the incision. Hold him still.
-Okay. I've got it.
Despite the nature of the accident,
in which several vehicles
fell off the Bukhansan Bridge,
there were very few casualties.
This was due to the medical professionals
who arrived very early on,
ensuring that the golden hour
was leveraged effectively.
Minister of Health and Welfare,
Kang Myeong-hui,
has called for hospitals
where patients were transferred
to focus their efforts
on treating those patients.
I am in front of
Hankuk National University Hospital.
There are three trauma patients
receiving emergency surgery
for very serious injuries here.
These patients were transferred
on the advice of Dr. Baek Kang-hyuk
who was at the crash site himself.
It is understood that all three patients
are in very critical condition.
Suture.
Once we control the bleeding,
we'll start on the spleen in the abdomen.
All right.
Come on.
Why are you so damn slow? Hurry it up!
I'm doing the best I can, Doctor.
I know you're doing your best.
Just try harder.
Damn it.
Why are you in such a rush?
Because I'm a little busy.
We've controlled the bleeding.
Now removing the pipe.
NAME: LEE CHANG-HUN, GENDER: MALE
PENETRATING WOUND, PIPE REMOVAL
I have to join Number One
as soon as possible, so I need to hurry.
The spleen is stitched up.
-Cut.
-Okay.
What? You're already done?
We've dealt with
the most urgent part.
-Let's start on the lower abdomen.
-Understood, Doc--
Listen to me.
I'm talking like a resident.
Have you controlled
all the bleeds?
No. Still blood coming
from inside the retroperitoneum.
Damn it.
I don't have time for this.
What?
What's this?
Can I keep going? Do you think
all this bleeding is all right?
I think that the adrenal gland
has been completely destroyed.
-What is it?
-His heart rate is climbing.
What do we do? Dr. Baek.
ABP 160.
-Shit! Ah, damn it.
What is going on here?
Is it the adrenal glands?
Think this patient has cancer.
His lymphatics are leaking.
Huh? Lymphatics?
Hey, hey, hey!
This is bad. This is really bad.
-Do something!
-Forceps.
ABP 190. 200.
Hey! What's his BP again?
Hey, there's a crazy amount of bleeding
in his lower abdomen.
Hey, this… What's going on down there?
He's going from sinus rhythm
to arrhythmia. Tachycardia.
What is his BP right now?
You sure it's all right to keep going?
-Tie.
-Tie.
I'm pushing beta-blockers.
Start by controlling the bleeding.
Dr. Baek.
Bovie. Forceps. Quickly.
Dr. Baek! Do something!
Just hold on.
-I'm removing the adrenal gland itself.
-What?
Are you crazy? Wait!
This could end very badly. Don't do that!
Dr. Baek. Think this through!
I'm begging you!
If you slip up while removing
the adrenal gland… Dr. Baek.
Hey, Dr. Baek.
Wait.
It's done?
Blood pressure?
ABP 180. Coming down slowly.
-How much beta-blockers has he had?
-Five mg.
It's been 30 seconds
since we put the fluids at full load.
I'll keep it around 500
for the next ten minutes.
All right, perfect.
Time to finish up.
Yes. Let's stitch it up.
No. You finish it yourself.
I need to check on Number One.
What?
You want me to do this alone?
His vital signs
have stabilized.
Get help from Dr. Park for the rest of it.
This patient's alive
in part because of him.
You're just leaving?
It's Baek Kang-hyuk.
How is the surgery going so far?
We're doing the best we
can right now, but…
Uh… He's bleeding!
Gauze, please.
Change out the unit of blood!
-Raise the suction, please.
-Hello?
Hey. Hey!
Ah shit. Why would she hang up like that?
-It's still coming out. Push!
-Yes, yes, Doctor.
I got it. Out, out, out, out.
-Okay. Right…
-Right-angle.
Yes.
And the, uh…
Number three sutures, right?
Thank you.
How's the bleeding?
Uh…
Oh, Dr. Baek.
Move your hand.
I can't see anything on-screen.
Look at that.
You're still struggling in the mesentery.
It's just that
this was split in half, so…
You should've cauterized
all the cuts to get through.
He's bleeding out
'cause you've done the ties like that.
You need to completely separate
the fat and the arteries.
I… I was in such a rush that…
-Go to your place.
-Huh?
Dissector.
Number One.
-Yes?
-Watch closely.
When you get through the fatty tissue
and see the blood vessels,
you need to tie it off like this
within one centimeter of the wound.
Yes, Doctor.
NAME: JANG JI-U,
GENDER: FEMALE OPEN TIBIA FRACTURE
Suction.
Dr. Jung,
the EKG is slowing down.
Why's it slowing down?
Have epi and atropine ready,
and bring out the defibrillator now.
-Call Code Blue. Quickly!
-Yes, Doctor!
REQUESTING RESUSCITATION TEAM
FOR PATIENT IN CARDIAC ARRES
Code Blue. Code Blue.
Main building OR 25.
Number One, retie the areas
you worked on earlier and look further in.
If it looks all right,
cauterize all the other bleeds
and close up.
Dr. Baek, where are you going?
Where are you going?
The right leg's fine.
We controlled the bleeding early on.
What's the problem, huh?
Code Blue. Code Blue.
Main building OR 25.
Code Blue. Code Blue.
-Back to normal rhythm.
-Huh?
Hey, she's back. Get down, get down.
Who's that?
Baek Kang-hyuk?
Yes. How's the patient?
We've set the ventilator
to 11 breaths per minute,
but the gas exchange isn't happening.
Saturation has dropped to 60.
No preexisting conditions
other than diabetes?
That's right.
Put her on full oxygen
and start loading heparin.
Heparin?
Don't question it. Just do it.
Yes, sir.
Uh, Dr. Baek,
could you explain what's going on?
What could happen
when a fracture and vascular injury happen
at the same time?
Bones are full of fat, right?
So when bones break,
the fat flows into the veins.
That's right.
Through the right atrium and ventricle,
blocking up the pulmonary artery.
It's a pulmonary embolism.
Yes, as you're well aware.
That's right.
Heparin is in, Doctor.
Saturation is increasing.
She's over the first hurdle.
I'll take care of the left leg.
-Redo the draping.
-Yes, sir.
An open fracture surgery
can't be performed by just anyone.
Exactly.
That's why I said I'd do it.
Dr. Jae-won.
Hmm?
Don't get down on yourself.
He's just very particular, is all.
Still, it's the first patient
he's entrusted to me.
Why bother being a fellow
if you're good from the start?
I don't know.
Think of how much bleeding
there was at first. Ugh.
We barely made it
with four units of blood.
I honestly wasn't even sure
whether the patient would still be alive
by the time Dr. Baek got here.
But he is alive.
You did well.
Thank you.
Although this was a major accident,
the casualty rate was relatively low
thanks to the hard work of
Dr. Baek Kang-hyuk.
It has been reported that the three
trauma patients from the accident
are undergoing emergency surgery
at Hankuk National University Hospital.
Minister of Health and Welfare,
Kang Myeong-hui…
Uh, seriously, come on.
How are we going to deal with this now?
-It's driving me crazy.
-What is it?
Director Hong! Outside the OR, there's--
What is the OR status of
the Sowol Bridge trauma patients?
I'm… not entirely sure.
Are you kidding me?
You're supposed to know these things!
His patients are your responsibility!
Actually, Dr. Baek is
treating the patients, and we…
we take more of a supporting role.
But outside the emergency room--
Hey, why don't you figure out
what's going on with Dr. Baek?
If Dr. Baek is overseeing all this,
and he screws up,
our hospital's reputation
is finished, yeah?
Huh?
What the…
It's only been three hours
since the patients arrived,
and he's already leaving?
Table death?
You mean, they… they… they died?
All three died?
Oh God.
-Oh.
-Oh God! Help me!
Are you okay, Director Hong?
Oh. Hello there.
Baek Kang.
Get back here right now!
The hell? Why, that son of a…
Director Hong, hold on.
Wait, just wait.
-Stop right there! Director Hong, stop!
-Baek Kang-hyuk.
Bastard!
Hey, you two. Please get away.
-Are you serious--
-Director Hong, wait.
What is all this?
Journalists. They're waiting
for Dr. Baek to get out of surgery.
Why?
Sowol Bridge. The accident.
He's about to pronounce
those patients dead in front of everyone!
He wouldn't, would he?
The hell is he doing?
-What's the status of the patients?
-Give a statement about the progress…
Everyone, your attention, please.
Those three who were involved
in the accident
and who suffered severe trauma
will all
make full recoveries.
-Wow!
-Look this way.
-Sir?
-This guy is really incredible!
I wasn't alone.
It required some teamwork.
Huh?
This is Dr. Yang Jae-won.
Without him, it's a fact
those patients would not have survived.
-Yang Jae-won. Look this way.
-Stand up straight.
Yes, Dr. Baek.
Dr. Baek Kang-hyuk
of Hankuk National University Hospital
has reported that all surgeries of
the victims of the Sowol Bridge accident
were a success.
-And, with that, Dr. Baek…
-That's amazing.
Being a doctor seems really great.
In addition to Dr. Yang Jae-won here,
there are so many nurses
who work tirelessly along with our staff
to keep this hospital running.
One nurse, in particular,
deserves special credit.
I would like to thank
Nurse Cheon Jang-mi of the trauma center.
THE SAINT OF THE TRAUMA CENTER!
NURSE CHEON JANG-MI
Also, there are those
who offered their assistance
despite the difficult circumstances
of today
due to the ongoing staff shortages.
The head of surgery.
Dr. Han Yu-rim.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COLORECTAL HEALTH
Dr. Park Gyeong-won of anesthesiology.
To you,
I extend my deepest gratitude.
The trauma center is a collective effort.
Situations like today
would've been impossible if I were alone.
But fortunately, we came together.
Please. If I could make just one request.
It's that you continue to show
your support for the work we do.
Your support will help us save
even more lives.
Who knows?
Some of you may suffer injuries
in the future,
but we'll be there to help.
We at Hankuk National University Hospital
will not rest on our laurels.
We intend to become the trauma center
that this nation truly deserves.
And to that end, our first step
will be to increase our capacity,
to secure high-quality
trauma surgery specialists
and medical staff as well.
Smile.
-Oh jeez.
-He's having the time of his life.
Do you really mean what you're saying? Uh…
Absolutely. It's time for us to expand.
-Is he done yet?
-Oh, Director Hong.
Our hospital's trauma center
is doing its best
with insufficient funding.
So this is what I'm proposing.
We need additional funding
to strengthen our department.
Well, right. No, no, no…
Could you please
give us a few words?
Well, uh… Oh, right. Well, uh…
Director Hong, look this way.
Unfortunately,
that's outside my authority, Doctor.
The hospital director decides that.
Hmm. I thought so.
Director Choi Jo-eun.
You're watching right now.
Please. Would you think about it?
Smile.
Baek Kang-hyuk.
So this is your next tactic?
